Students Join National Protest against Education Budget Cuts

Students and professors are challenging administrators and legislators today in more than 100 protests in 32 states. The protest movement was born in California, where the University has seen a billion dollars in budget cuts in the past two years, at the same time tuition and fees have been on the increase.
